[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/3] qos: use rte_zmalloc instead of memzone for allocation

Stephen Hemminger stephen at networkplumber.org
Wed May 14 18:25:25 CEST 2014


The existing rte scheduler can only be safely configured once per port
because a memory zone has a fixed size once it is created and can never
be freed or change in size.

This patch changes the scheduler to use rte_malloc instead. This allows
for a port to be reconfigured by doing rte_sched_port_free followed
rte_sched_port_config.

The patch also removes the now unused name parameter from the
port parameters structure.
